Does anyone else run updates and watch the screen like you're some movie hacker?
Then when it's finish, you crack your knuckles and go, "It's about time. ๐" but all you do is open Firefox and look at some boring website for two hours?

Damn, how many packages you feeding that thing. Post the neofetch ๐คฃ
Arch beenn feeling this way over last few weeks with all the kde updates basically adding "5" to end of their name.
It's even worse when you have 60 packages to just hit enter to and then one that defaults to no for a conflict and you have to do it all over again.
Oh yeah with that one update a few days ago that required --overwrite..forget which package it was.
I have been ignoring virtualbox for months now because something about incompatible dependencies

Did I see that right: they added it and then removed it a few days later? Could be the other way round too.
I used to run a yay -Syu on my system almost daily.
Now, I run a pacman -Syu once every 2-3 weeks, and I only ever update a package from the AUR if I do need it updated or is there a serious vulnerability.
Turns out I don't have a real need to have my personal system running bleeding edge new software at all times. Sure, the updates are larger, but I no longer feel like risking my system stability on a daily basis. I'm a lot happier this way.
Timeshift set to create backup automatically before applying system updates..anything bricks I load my last save an trouble shoot when i have time
Same, Iโm planning to switch to OpenSUSE slowroll when it comes out of beta.

My arch install every 5 minutes
while [ true ]; do pacman -Syu --noconfirm; done
Yeah no i want to know if an update breaks my system
Don't worry, you will.
I've been using pop OS and it is actually kind of frustrating how I can't seem to go a single day without notifications in the bar saying there are updates to install.
A couple of days ago I did all of the updates, it asked for a reboot, I rebooted, and when it booted back up it had more updates than it had when I updated it.
I think I need to turn the notifications off and I'll just update when I remember to update.
Probably a kernel update that required a reboot, then a bunch more updates that had a dependency on the new kernel. I usually just click update when I jump on in the morning and let it do its thing before I get started for the day.
All haskell
I use Slackware. What are these "updates" you speak of?
But you updated glibc, right? Right?
Damn it, I shuld turn my PC on and update it ๐ . This is gonna be pain, after 2 months.
I literally didn't update my fedora distro on my laptop for 2 months (because I didn't have much use of it those last months) and I have 500+ packages to update, and on my PC with an arch-based distro, after 5 days, I have already 100 packages to update

I know
All those haskell modules
What distro are you using? I update on a weekly basis and usually have 10 - 15 updated packages.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
I've done some 6k+ package updates fairly regularly with zipper never missing a beat. I know several other package managers that would have shat themselves long before that.
yay
paru
aura
I'll just stick with Debian and Fedora
Just updated my Tumbleweed. Last update was from 5 june ๐๐
You didn't update it since June? Wow, you really know how to get the good side of rolling releases.
I like Fedora but the daily notifications about updates is annoying
Me jumping from debian stable to sid
Haven't updated in 2+ months... It's gonna be a carefully read when I do it ๐ฎโ๐จ
This is why I use bazzite on my gaming computers now. My home server crap is still a nightmare though.
